Stress is just how far today's value sits between “norm” (0) and “crisis” (100) — a fixed calibrated scale, not a verdict. It measures pressure, not a prediction of collapse.
Federal budget spending (annual) currently reads 44.1 ₽ trn, mapping to a stress of 28/100 — modest pressure.
Across the tracked period the stress has held roughly flat (+0.0 pts).
The value is sourced via official statistics; confidence — low. How it is derived: RUB 44.1tn for 2026 (~18.7% of GDP), a record — war spending keeps outlays high while oil & gas revenue weakens.
History is accumulating since launch — a chart appears once enough daily readings pile up.
